What Taipy version are you using? Do you use any tools that can conflict with Taipy?

[RandomArnab]

Taipy version is 3.1.1. I've tried it on multiple environments with python versions of 3.11 and 3.12 but got the same os error while calling the GUI module.

[FlorianJacta]

Thank you for the quick answer! Are you coding in a cloud environment?

Can you test:

from taipy.gui import Gui 

Gui(page="# Hello world").run()

[RandomArnab]

No, I'm running locally.
Still the same error however.

[FlorianJacta]

Did you create a brand new environment for your Taipy installation? Maybe, that could fix this issue.

@FabienLelaquais @FredLL-Avaiga Do you have any idea?

[RandomArnab]

I tried both ways, on my pre-existing environment with 3.11 python version and on a new environment with 3.12.

[FredLL-Avaiga]

if think the problem is that you're trying in the console and we need a file...

[FredLL-Avaiga]

I guess we should give a proper error message

[FlorianJacta]

True, I can replicate the issue:

>>> from taipy.gui import Gui
>>> Gui("Hello").run()
Traceback (most recent call last):

You should use Python files to run a Taipy application.

[Paulie-Aditya]

using python files should solve the issue. As far as I understood the issue is occurring due to the code being run on a python console

It seems that you are already assigned to another issue @SGCODEX

[aniketh-varma]

Hi @FlorianJacta, I can work on this issue. It would be great if you could explain the steps required to solve the issue/preferred solution since this will be my first PR for this repo.
